A member asked:
What's a gallbladder sludge and how is it treated? i've been diagnosed with a large sludge, and cyst in my liver.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sand: I think of sludge at sand in the gallbladder. Not stones but a precursor to stones in the form of a sandy substance. If you have symptoms that could be related to the gallbladder, the gallbladder should be removed. Depending on the size, location, and symptoms, the cyst could also be treated surgically at the same time.
